Everything enterprise watch does, and the parts it skips.
Three core jobs, run nightly against every live mark on the US register, at a price a small firm can actually carry.
Similar-filing alerts
Every new USPTO application is scored against your marks, not just exact matches. One composite score, four signals.
- ▪Spelling & sound. Levenshtein / Jaro-Winkler plus Double-Metaphone phonetics catch “Kwikset” vs “Quickset.”
- ▪Tokens & class. Shared distinctive tokens weighted by class proximity, exact class beats coordinated beats unrelated.
- ▪Severity bands, tunable. High-confidence conflicts alert immediately; borderline matches wait in the digest.
Status, in plain English
For every mark you own, Thorgate polls USPTO status and explains each transition, and the action window it opens.
- ▪Every transition. Office action, published, opposition, notice of allowance, registered, cancelled, abandoned.
- ▪Explained, not just flagged. What the event means and what you do next, in a sentence, not a status code.
- ▪Silence reads as diligence. Every digest confirms what was watched, even in a quiet week.
Deadlines that remind you
Statutory windows computed from your record, encoded as rules, so a USPTO change is a config edit, not a missed date.
- ▪Every window. Office-action responses, opposition periods, Statements of Use, Section 8 (yrs 5–6), Section 9 renewals.
- ▪Reminder ladder. 60 / 30 / 14 / 7 / 1 days out, and 14 / 7 / 3 / 1 on a short opposition window.
- ▪Exportable. Push any deadline to your calendar with a one-click .ics.
The watch is only useful if it fits how you work.
Findings you can triage once, deadlines that live in your own calendar, and a digest that reports even the quiet weeks.
Triage that sticks
Dismiss a finding and it stays dismissed. Escalate the ones that matter. Rescoring never resurfaces a call you already made.
Deadlines in your calendar
Subscribe to a private ICS feed and every computed window appears in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar alongside everything else.
Digests that prove diligence
A weekly summary of what was watched and what was found, delivered even when nothing happened.
Assign work to a teammate
Give a conflict an owner. They're emailed on assignment, it lands in their own queue, and they get its deadline reminders — so a conflict is never everyone's job and therefore nobody's.
Branded client reports
A monthly PDF on your own letterhead — marks watched, conflicts found, actions taken, deadlines ahead. Download it, or have it emailed to your client automatically.
Reminders that actually fire
An escalating ladder ahead of every computed date, tightened to 14/7/3/1 days on a 30-day opposition window that a weekly digest could otherwise miss entirely.
